I found it very nerve- wracking and tough, but at the end of day I look back and it was my most enjoyable experience as well, I relished it. Without a doubt it was the task at Browns, when we had to cook for the Michelin-starred chefs and the Michelin inspectors. WHICH OUT OF THE TASKS DID YOU FIND MOST CHALLENGING?

I think it did, it’s very hard to cook to 100 per cent of your ability under the circumstances – being on camera and talking to Michel, obviously I was nervous, but I had to cook to my full potential. It was a really enjoyable experience.ĭID THE PRESSURE OF THE SHOW AFFECT YOUR COOKING? It was nerve-wracking walking into a room to see them standing there, but it was a fantastic opportunity and they helped us and gave us advice. HOW DID YOU FIND BEING JUDGED BY MICHEL AND GREGG? Initially I was quite reluctant as I didn’t want to be on television, but I filled it in and sent it away anyway and it just snowballed from there. My head chef at the time approached me as he had received an application form from the BBC. We caught up with the winners from the previous series, Derek Johnstone, crowned 2008 Masterchef champion, and last year’s Masterchef champion Steve Groves, to find out how winning the show and having Michel behind them has propelled them to the top of the culinary world. Once filming has ended Michel continues to mentor many of the contestants, giving them the opportunity to learn the ropes in his two-Michelin-starred restaurant kitchen at Le Gavroche. They make a harsh but fair trio – contestants receive scathing, yet constructive criticism. Joining Michel on the judging panel is Gregg Wallace and Michel’s sous chef, Monica Galetti.
